How to upgrade to iOS 10 w/o home button?

[Jarvxs]

My home button has broken so I have been using AssistiveTouch

I've almost finish downloading iOS 10 but now it's saying 'press home to upgrade' but I can't because the button has broke!

Any ideas? I've already tried holding the lock button but it takes me back to the same white screen

interesting, never thought of this. Wonder if you are screwed, and if so, I wonder how Apple would respond if you took the phone into the store.

I'm talking to the help team using the online chat, the guy couldn't help so I'm being transferred to 'senior support'

AssistiveTouch is enabled right? Just hit that.

What device you are using?

Don't install iOS 10. You can't access the os an iPad or iPhone without pressing the home button. They have removed swipe to sign in and changed it to press home button.

I'm stuck on the first page of set-up so it isn't on the screen

Sorry. In that case I don't know what you can do apart from the obvious. Fix the home button or attach it to iTunes and install 9.3.5

Rollback to ios 9.3.5, or pay a fee to get another phone

I wonder why they even need the whole swipe/press home to upgrade...just upgrade. And while they changed the unlocking, not sure whey they needed to change that "upgrade" flow to do use the same thing and not just stick with swiping there.

I think you will need to get the home button fixed. After all Assistive Touch isnt there to replace a broken home button so any upgrade will assume fully working hardware.

Is a sim card in the phone? I had the same issues, but I did not have a sim card in. After putting one in, I powered off the phone, then powered it back on, after doing so, I was taken to a screen that asked to select the Language.
